What compression going with?

Keeping stock carb?

I'm efi, 37b and had the pinging too. Downloaded a map from dynojet for a close setup after changing to a 2 into 1 pipe. Pinging gone. When I had it tuned the tuner removed some - timing that was in the low rpm range, said he had never seen that before and I shouldn't need it. Pinging came back when it got hot out. I put the - timing back in and all is good.

I haven't done a thing to the bike for a week. I just got back from our annual boondoggle, this year it was in Hilton Head. While I was gone, GMR shipped the jugs and pistons, I'm waiting for the rest of the order to arrive.

I went with the cam that Steve recommended with the kit. I also bought a DTT, Feuling oil pump and a Primo clutch. I can't wait to get this sucker together. I'm going to gap the rings and install the pistons in the jugs this week.

If you read the manual in advance of doing the work a couple of times, the tools needed will be spelled out for ya. Only exception is the gear drive. Steve should send along instructions for those, if not a search of the S&S or Andrews site will have instructions for setting lash. But you might want to check with Steve and see if he is or can send those along.

I had access to cam tools and a press, so that's the way I went. However folks have done the oven and freezer thing for the cams.

If using adjustable push rods, you can make a little tool out of rubber bands and a paper clip to hold the push rod tube up while adjusting. Hook the clip to the tube and one to a rocker cover bolts.

Pay close attention to the oil pump alignment and get some help to spin the rear tire in fifth gear with the plugs out to center the pump while tightening the oil pump alignment pins.

Be sure that all case bolt holes are clear of any oil or this could happen.



Good Luck and skin a few knuckles for the rest of us.

Damn!!! The hydraulic pressure of some oil trapped in the case did that???? Damn!!!

I'm not sure about that particular picture, it was borrowed as an example. But have seen some at the cam cover caused by hydraulic pressure.

Thanks, it's my wifes toy and she looks damn good in it. She asked to keep it in the garage for the winter so it's cramping my space a bit, but life is give and take....................

Got my pipes from Sedeluxe (thanks George). White Bros E pipe, I like it and Steve says it's a great pipe for my build.

Waiting for my heads, cams, clutch, rods, rockers and oil pump.

Yo,

[meanbean]

My job keeps getting in the way of this build.

Jugs and pistons are done.

Brakes are done.

Sheet metal is back from paint.

Doing the clutch and cams tonight and tomorrow morning. Cam bearings are done and the new clutch hub is pressed in. The clutch disks are soaking in Dexron III.

Heating the cam plate in the oven works to get the old bearings out. Freezin the bearings and heating the plate did not work to install the bearings. I had to go to work and use the press.

Installing the wrist pin circlips wasn't bad using Springers method, but you need to be careful you don't jam the screw driver into your thumb.

I'm now having a beer and reading the Feuling oil pump instructions.
